Smart launches the state of the art flagship store at Smart SM Megamall
Smart launches Smart flagship Store at SM Megamall on August 31 with the state of the art features to engage subscribers with the latest digital lifestyle solutions. PLDT and Smart Chairman and CEO Manny V. Pangilinan graces the launch with Eraserheads and media.
The most high tech video walls, touch screen help, and a syncing technology that allows for multiscreen video design on panoramic walls– these are just some of the state-of-the-art features you can find at the newly opened and redesigned Smart Flagship Store at Megamall.
Transformed to deliver a digitally immersive and interactive experience, the new Smart Store is powered by a syncing technology that allows for multiscreen video design on panoramic walls – a first for a telco in Southeast Asia.
The result is a dynamic modern playground for subscribers to discover and explore the hottest videos, music, games and perks, while enjoying a seamless customer service. The world-class venue also puts Smart in the best position to promote and share compelling devices, content, and stories with subscribers.
“We are proud to launch the new Smart Store, the most advanced mobile hub in the country today that provides our subscribers with an unrivaled customer service and digital experience. This builds on the momentum of our rebranding last June, when we strengthened our commitment in breaking barriers and bridging gaps for the digital Filipino,” said Ariel P. Fermin, EVP and Wireless Consumer Business Head at Smart.
“Since then, we have made great strides in improving our network across the country, launching compelling data offers and products like Giga Surf, as well as introducing the Smart Life app – a portal for enjoying today’s top digital content and exclusive perks for subscribers. It’s just about time we level up our retail experience with the new Smart Store, a dynamic digital space that embodies our vision of an empowered Smart Life for every Filipino.”
This unique, elevated customer journey starts with the Attract Wall, an interactive augmented reality window that welcomes you into the venue. A member of the Smart Squad – a team of friendly and tech-savvy customer service experts – is on hand with a tablet to assist on the paperless integrated queuing system, which frees you up to roam the store.
For fast-track service, you may proceed to Self-Care Wall, which lets you manage your account and avail of services, such as activating your SIM and reloading your account, among others.
While waiting for your turn at the queue, you may also head to the interactive Product Wall, which projects the key features of devices as you tinker with them. Using the interactive screen, you may also compare smartphones to check out the perfect unit that suits your lifestyle.
Treasure trove of content at your fingertips
You can also hang out by the Interactive Tables, which house a treasure trove of featured content from the Smart Life app. Here, you can check out hit songs and create a set that you can play on a digital turntable; choose films and shows to watch with a swipe of your finger; or escape into an action-packed game with friends.
The Smart Squad is also ready to assist you anytime at the touch of a button.
Relax, recharge and refresh
At the heart of the store is the Social Corner with cozy bleachers where you can relax, meet friends and charge your devices. You can also enjoy a cup of coffee while talking with a Smart Squad member about ways to optimize your device.
From here, you can also see a stunning display of mobile content trends on the music, movies, games and perks that subscribers are enjoying on the Smart Life app at any given point in time. This space also doubles as a venue for the latest Smart product offers and services, gadget tutorials and community events.
Clean, sleek digital space
All these elements come together in a clean and sleek digital space that sports soothing hues, organic curves and diffused light that immediately make subscribers feel at home in a warm, friendly environment.
“With the new Smart Store, we have pulled out all the stops to go beyond delivering the best customer service to creating a one of a kind immersive and communal digital space, that we invite everyone to experience and explore for themselves,” Maloo R. Agoncillo, VP for Retail Stores and Key Accounts at Smart.
“We are looking forward to transforming more Smart Stores across the country so we can better serve and engage our subscribers nationwide.”

Smart announces FREE Instagram for prepaid, postpaid subs
Another first from the leader in mobile
Millions of subscribers of Smart Communications (Smart) can now enjoy free access to one of the world’s most popular photo-sharing social media networks, Instagram, whenever they subscribe to top prepaid offers or the latest postpaid plans from the undisputed leader in mobile.
With the Free Instagram offer, Smart subscribers will be able to freely browse their Instragram feeds and upload their own photos and videos from their smartphones without additional data charges.
Prepaid subscribers will be able to enjoy free Instagram browsing and posting for up to 30MB per day with any popular prepaid promos that include All Text 20, Unli Call & Text 30, All in 99 and Mega 250, among many others.
Users who subscribe to any of Smart’s Surf Plus Plans, meanwhile, will instantly be able to enjoy the Free Instagram offer as part of their freebie app bundle for 30 days.
“More than just connecting, Instagram has allowed its users to give their friends and families a peek into people and the things they love the most—from the most vivid details of their daily lives, to the most exciting things that they are currently passionate about,” said Ariel P. Fermin, Executive Vice President and Consumer Business Group Head at Smart.
“It’s more than just ‘sharing’, ‘liking’ or ‘commenting’—Instagram is giving Filipinos the chance to preserve their precious memories in visual form, and Smart is proud to provide access to all of these anytime, everywhere through our innovative mobile services,” Fermin added.
The Free Instagram offer comes on the heels of the company’s efforts to help its subscribers live the ‘Smart Life,’ which gives them access to the best digital services and most meaningful innovations that allow them to live out their passions in life.
The offer is seen to benefit the millions of Instagram users across the country, as well as those who have yet to try the app on their phones. Instagram is currently among the top five most used app by Philippine mobile users, according to the latest Ericsson Mobility Report.
It is the latest in the aggressive bid of PLDT’s wireless units to further grow its mobile data business, which in the first quarter of 2015 rose by 19% year-on-year, culling more than P2.2 billion in revenues during the period.
Smart’s mobile data traffic likewise increased by 188% during the same period, with subscribers exchanging more than 21 terabytes of traffic across the network fueled by pioneering offers such as the free Internet promo, which gave users 30MB of free mobile data everyday.
With the Free Instagram offer, Smart is continuing to enable Filipinos to enjoy entertainment everywhere through their mobile devices, with the help of other game-changing partnerships and services through iflix, FOX, SPINNR, and YouTube, among many others.
